Mike Sexton Wins First WPT Title in Montreal for $425,980

Finally, one of the only things missing from the illustrious career of Mike Sexton has been crossed off the list. In the wee hours of Friday morning inside Playground Poker Club, Sexton defeated his final opponent in a field of 648 players strong to claim his first World Poker Tour (WPT) title at WPT Montreal.

The third time was the charm for Sexton, making good on his third WPT final table earning CAD $425,980, the coveted Playground Poker Club Championship belt, a sweet-looking Hublot watch, 24K gold Monster headphones, and most importantly, his name forever etched on the WPT Champions Cup.
